Codex can generate a correct error message explanation about half the time -- and can provide a correct fix about a third of the time #SIGCSE2023 . Also, codex likes to blame indentation and sounds confident when it is wrong.

Students using a structured ide as a scaffold regressed when errors were prevented -- when scaffolding blocks to text needs to keep students actively writing code. #SIGCSE2023 . Another concern is the juggling of tools - would be best to keep students in one tool.

Some challenges when transitioning from blocks to text include syntax, memorization, data types, error messages, and language change. This represents a large knowledge gap and students are likely to hit many errors during this transition #SIGCSE2023

How unreadable is that error message? Look at .1. Length (# of words).2. Proportion of Basic English words.3. # reserved words or "jargon".4. Is it a complete sentence?. #sigcse2023 . Now that we can measure error message readability, we can improve it!.

7 tips for teaching:.1. Borrow - don't start from scratch.2. Make concepts visual.3. Interactive lectures.4. Use visual and interactive tools (and make mistakes!).5. Use applications to show why.6. Make it hands on and fun.7. Make change happen.#sigcse2023.

Claim: for profits want market differentiation and are not interested in making porting easier or exporting easy to parse, common formats so won't drive this effort. The speaker missed the @CodioHQ session - we love json and yaml! #SIGCSE2023.

The Programming Exercise Markup Language: Towards Reducing the Effort Needed to Use Automated Grading Tools kicking off with "who needs another markup language? Not me!" #SIGCSE2023 Maybe it's worth it for compatibility?.

The final pitch? Use a mixed approach - start with immediate feedback on assignments then remove so students are motivated to write tests (of varying quality) for their code. It would be interesting to see if this holds water. #sigcse2023.

Interesting to see immediate feedback helping female identifying students slightly more than male identifying counterparts - opening up the question does immediate feedback help support other historically marginalized populations? #sigcse2023.

Most executable exams are synchronous, mostly autonomously graded, give correctness feedback, allow unlimited resubmissions, allow some resources, have human proctors, and BYOD with loaners(meaning unrestricted software) #SIGCSE2023.

There is a wide range of autograder feedback from no feedback, basic syntax feedback, and various levels of correctness feedback #sigcse2023
